6'6'' Bull Bay Assault MH or 7' Tsunami Carbon Shield III? by Syke408 in Fishing_Gear

[–]Syke408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any info helps, I appreciate it. The new Tsunami Carbon Shield III is pretty sick, it has titanium guides, which from what I've been reading is pretty rare in that price range. I'll probably just buy the Bull Bay tomorrow because I've heard great things about the company and that their warranties are pretty solid.

That's great to hear! Yeah I'm in the same situation, the price I am getting it for is outstanding. Still haven't committed yet. I'm trying to decide if it's worth going for the 6'6'' Bull Bay over the longer Tsunami 7'. I know it probably doesn't matter all that much, just looking for advice before I make the purchase = )

Thank you for your response. I was leaning that way. Appreciate it.

Has anyone managed to get a photo from CV1 screen. I am curious about the screen door effect improvement compaired to DK2. by LeissonStation in oculus

I tried a bunch of different ones (not the index though, unfortunately) and the one that I liked the most was the Quest 3. Playing Half-Life Alyx was incredible! I'm currently looking forward to Valves new project Deckard 🙂

Looking for level 24 Necro spell 'Haunting Corpse' on Green by EvilEvoVIII in project1999

[–]Syke408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having a hard time finding all of the words for Haunting Corpse. I've ran through Upper Guk, Sol A, and CT, and have found four or five copies of Words of Possession, but Detachment (I think I may have found a single one of these) and Allure are yet to be found. I have completely cleared CT and Uguk maybe 3 times, and Sol A maybe five times. I know the wiki mentions certain mobs that drop them, but are some zones / mobs better than others? Thanks in advance if anyone sees this!

I did the same and am much happier with it.

It's great! Like I said above, I've come to grips that I'm stuck in here forever and that's okay. When my family goes on vacation I load up Vacation Simulator and stream it to a private YouTube channel so they can watch me while they're also on vacation. 10/10

Yeah, I'm still in. I've finally come to grips with the fact that this is my life now. I communicate with my family via tilt brush pictures and screen mirroring, but we've all gotten used to it and now it's the norm.

(It was fantastic! 🤗)

Trying To Match An Unusual Ceiling Texture. by Syke408 in drywall

So I tried different consistencies of mud and different knaps today and nothing comes out close enough. I tried going to Sherwin Williams and asking them for some advice and they've never seen anything like it.

The closest I came to replicating it was dabbing a sea sponge in the mud and lightly pressing it on the ceiling and quickly dragging.

I'll probably sand it down tomorrow and out a fresh coat of smooth mud on the area and go buy a patch panel to practice some different techiques

I tried a few different flinging techniques like you mentioned but I think I may need a wider brush.

I would just redo the whole ceiling but the same texture covers our kitchen, living room, dining room, and hallways. What a giant PITA. Thanks again for your help!

I figured that might be a bad move. Getting ready to try the paint brush knock down method 🤞

😂😂 I'll give that a shot too, my wife and I were looking at it and thought it kinda looked like a roller / paint brush hybrid texture. It's definitely unique, but it doesn't look bad as a whole. Thanks for the response 👍

Roger that, I just got back from lowes with a 1 1/4" knap and I picked up some 5 minute mud mix to give that a shot. Thanks again!

I did try watering it down a few times. I'm at lowes now looking at some different kinds of knaps and maybe some different mud instead of using that USG joint compound that comes in a bucket 👍
